Colafax 3396

Cola®Fax 3396 DESCRIPTION

Cola®Fax 3396 is a low foaming organic phosphate ester surfactant, which is utilized as a hydrotrope in formulating highly built liquid detergents for either household or industrial applications. Because it is compatible and chemically stable, even in concentrated alkaline builder solutions, it is particularly effective as a solubilizer for nonionics and other detergents in high electrolyte systems.

FEATURES

Cola®Fax 3396, although exhibiting typical surface active behavior in aqueous solutions, will normally be utilized in combination with other surfactants, it offers the following advantages: • Excellent solubility in concentrated electrolytes • Stable in high pH formulations • Excellent hydrotrope over a broad range of alkali concentrations • Low foaming at use dilutions • Liquid properties allow easy compounding • Does not interfere with the detergent properties of other surfactants • Effective in hypochlorite containing formulations
